Ok, so I have an adult site that is generating 6,000-8,000 uniques/day and 17,000 views/day but for some personal reasons I will need to move this site along, but before I do I'd like to capitalize on my loyal visitors and flip my adult site into a less hands on non adult site, any suggestions? I have been making around $2,000+/month on this site and would like at least $1,000/month from the new site. My question is, should I focus on sites like cafe press, or non adult affiliate marketing, and use the traffic from my site to generate traffic and income on something like that, or should I go with a related niche that isn't adult, and do adsense? Something else? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
"less hands on non adult site" - that's funny. You make a good point, Adult sites are 'hands on'. Looks like your website is making good money. If for personal reason you want nothing to do with it. Why don't you hire somebody to run it for you. Pay them 51% of the revenue. That way your hands are clean of it, but you still receive some money from it. As for transfering adult traffic to non-adult. I have no idea how that can be done. Its like trying to convince strip joint patrons to go visit a poetry reading.
I don't have any experience with XXX traffic but I get the feeling that they'd be tough to convert to non-adult sites. When someone is surfing for XXX stuff they probably aren't interested in much else
Haha, I wasn't even thinking of the hands on joke, but it did give me a bit of a chuckle. The thing is, I have a very unique bit of targeted audience, from 18-35 male, and sense my site is a gay one, I'm willing to bet most of them are gay, whether on the down low or not, so I have this site where I have 4,500 daily viewers and around the same amount of casual viewers daily for a total audience of around 30,000-40,000 I think what I want to do most is kick off something new, with the traffic I already have, but I have to work pretty fast, I'll be handing over the blog to someone new in about two weeks. The plan is for him to keep blogging the way I do but using my affiliate codes for a few months for payment, which I could perhaps make contingent on having my cafe press shop up on the side bar, which would allow me to have traffic coming through, and he could benefit from their affiliate program, but I've made only around 400 last year from that, but then again I only had 12 designs up, and I never did anything to generate traffic flow.
